Chris Archer's name has been linked to almost every contending team this offseason, but the 29-year-old starting pitcher remains a member of the Rays just days before the beginning of spring training.

Archer mentioned last month that he expects to remain in Tampa Bay next season, but that hasn't stopped rumors from swirling around the star's name.

According to startribune.com, the Twins have made an offer for Archer, and the Rays are interested in Twins outfielder Max Kepler in return.

Archer was an All-Star last season, but he finished the year with a pedestrian 10-12 record and ERA (4.07). But Archer has ace "stuff," exemplified by his 249 strikeouts last season. He has 1,044 career strikeouts in just 967 innings pitched.

Trade Talks On Chris Archer “Intensifying”. By Kyle Downing | July 29, 2018 at 8:58am CDT. Mark Feinsand of MLB .com reports (on Twitter) that the Braves sent the minimum 0K to Tampa Bay in return for Venters.

But can the Twins actually be the team to convince the Rays to trade Archer?

At face value it doesn't seem likely. Archer is under a team-friendly contract that pays him $13.75 million over the next two years with club options for $9 million in 2020 and $11 million in 2021. The Rays can demand a big return for Archer's services.

The Twins still have a good farm system, and they have young fringe players on the roster, but Tampa Bay would have to be blown away by a trade offer since they don't need to move Archer.

Minnesota may have a better chance before the July 31 trade deadline. The Rays may be more anxious to sell by then, and the Twins may be more desperate to offer a better package. It just doesn't feel like Archer is moving before the season starts.
